Bron Breakker will challenge CM Punk for the world championship during Monday Night Raw on January 5, 2025, a contest that has drawn sharp opinions from WWE veteran Kevin Nash. The Bron Breakker world title match is expected to be a decisive moment for both competitors, with Nash making his skepticism about Punk’s role clear ahead of the event.
Critical Observations from Kevin Nash
On his recent podcast, Kevin Nash critiqued CM Punk’s performance in the aftermath of the December 22 Raw, where Punk was featured in the main event tag team bout. Nash questioned Punk’s status as a top star, offering candid analysis: “I watched Punk in the main event of that match last Monday [the tag team match]. Number one, if you’re the heavyweight champion of WWE and you wrestle in a t-shirt — ouch.
Number two, his punches looked really slow. He looks slow. I think it’s time for him. I think he’s done. I think Bron should beat him.”—Kevin Nash, WWE Legend
Debate Surrounds Punk’s Form and WWE’s Future
Nash’s remarks reflect a growing conversation about CM Punk’s speed and stamina as he occupies a main event position. With WWE spotlighting Bron Breakker as a future cornerstone, the impending title clash heightens questions about whether Punk’s championship run should continue, especially against a physically dominant opponent like Breakker.
